Founded in 1988 by keyboard player / producer Steve Paine, Legend perform epic songs, that twist and turn effortlessly through a myriad of time and tempos. Mystical lyrics, delivered by soaring almost operatic female vocals and powerful melodic guitars and layered keyboard textures, held together by a tight, punchy and precise rhythm section.

These are the hallmarks of Legend. An archetypical progressive / symphonic rock band or if you prefer a dinosaur. Legend are not ‘fashionable’, ‘chic’ or ‘in vogue’ they are unusual and unique and they are here to stay. So if you like Rush, Jethro Tull, Nightwish, Within Temptation, Yes, Solstice, Steeleye Span, Renaissance... the list goes on... then you will probably like Legend.

Legend’s songs are woven around mystical and pagan themes, folklore and archetypal myths they are about passion – not fashion. This has led them to success in Japan and Europe, despite never really making the breakthrough in the UK. They have released 3 CD albums and a Live concert Video and after 21 years are about to release a ‘best of’ CD entitled ‘Ritual Echo’ and re-release their concert video on DVD and for the first time on CD.
And just when you thought it was safe...  Plans are afoot to record a new album in 2010... so watch out for ‘Cardinal Points’.
